I guess I didn’t pout or nothing. I told him he was a mean, hor- rid thing, and I would never live: with him another day. Then he showed ime a lotof pool tickets he had bought in a baseball game, and he said we would go the next day and see the greatest game of baseball that ever was, and he drop- ped to sleep as quick as he struck the bed and dreamed of ‘‘short stops” and ‘‘flies,” and talked in his sleep about stealing bases until I thought I should die, and he svored so they could hear it a
mile, and _ there I was awake all night. I was not much ac- quainted with him theu and did
not disturb him, bnt now when he snores or talks in his sleep I nudge him with my sharp elbow, and he wakes up too quick. Well, the next morning,tired

BUSINESS COLLEGE,
- don Truth, challeuging Mr. Allison,
Potatoes are best stored in a dry, cool |cellar, where the temperature can be ‘kept by ventilation, at about 40 degrees. The floor should be of planks, raised three inches from the ground, and laid with one inch spaces between them for ‘ventilation. The bins should be about /eight feet long, four feet wide and deep, made of _loose-barred partitions, wired together at the corners. A , bin of this size would hold one hundred | bushels, and with such a one it is very easy to know precisely how much the crop amounts to. A box to hold a bushel will be found a gaeat cenvenience in gathering and storing the potatoes. It is made eighteen inches long, fifteen | inches deep in the clear at the sides, and | ten inches wide, all inside measurements; | ‘thus holding two tiousand and seven ‘hundred cubic inches, or thirteen cubic inches (about two good sized potatoes) Over a heaped bushel, which is two thousand six hundred and eighty-seven ‘inches. These boxes can be set | one upon another, and then have a space left between the potatoes, avd are thus well adapted for use in storing a part of ‘the crop, or a small quantity for domestic use. The barred sides and bottom secure abundant ventilation. The bins in the cellar should have a space of four inches between the end and the wall, and between the sides ; this is easily made by placing « short rail between them.— American Agriculturist for October.

Writing Scurrilous Verses
| The St. Stephen Review, London, prints a letter signed ‘‘ Manfield,” on | behalt of Mr. Labouchere, editor of Loa-
editor of St. Stephen Review, toa duel, for writing scurrilous verses reflecting on , Labouchere’s ancestors. Allison appends | his reply, refusing to entertain the ridi- | culous proposition, as he says he has no | wish to hurt Labouchere or to be hurt |himself. He says he is unconscious of ‘having abused Labouchere, as he has ‘always regarded Labouchere as a subject for mirth rather than for indignation. | Allison proposes that an aged veteran be /sent to meet Labouchere with horse | whips, the use of which, he says, Labou- ‘chere is understood to have learned , from experience. es ee
Population of Virginia City.

In 1875 Virginia City, Nev., had a | population of 22,000. The inhabitants {now number 3,090; the buildings are |tumbling down; the $500,000 Bonanza} mills are idle and rusting; the great) |héisting and pumping works have been| ‘moved away, and the whole future of the’ Comstock lode and of the city depends | | Upon a little knife-blade streak of ore in| ‘the Hale and Norcross.

Herald. ‘two miles and sat on a hard bench and ich ae en em \saw a game of base ball, and I didn’t Storing Potatoes. junderstand a word of it. Then my
husband lost $25 on pool tickets, and he uever spoke to me all the way back to the hotel, except to say it would have been money in his pocket it Finnegan had taken that fly and passed it to first base. Oh,| was so discouraged I thought I should die. I had married what I supposed was the man who loved mejaud he was in love with baseball. But | had a talk with him that night, and I guess he discovered I was no chicken to be treated that way, and ever since he has been just as good as couldbe. Ain't that a nice baby?”
The other bride of eighteen months said the baby was the nicest she ever saw, except one, and then she went on to tell about her experience en her wedding tour. “ You know we went to New York,” said she, as she picked up her baby and took the heel of his shoe out of his mouth. ‘Well, we stopped at a hotel, and that evening my husband met a young man frora here who was in New York studying medicine. They went out together for the evening, and when my husband came back, where do you suppose he had been to? To a dis- secting room! His friend had taken him to the medical college and to the dissecting room, and what he didn’t know about the human frame when he got back was not worth knowing. It makes me crawl to think of it. He told me all about seeing aman cut up. Cheerful, wasn’t it? He took hold of my hand, pointed out all the nerves and veins and joints and bones, and related to me how he had seen the late lamented cut up with knives. I was a timid young thing, then, and it .as all I could do to keep from screaming hys- terically, but I thought it was my duty to my husband to seem interested in what he said, so I sat there in our bridal chamber and shivered, and listened to his harrowing accounts of the dissection of some man I had never been introduced to. Ob, I felt every word he said, as though dissecting knives were at work
on my nerves and muscles. He told me, in a few well-chosen words, how the deceased looked
when the students hooked him ont of a vat and laid him on a table; how the corpse seemed to remind him of some man he had seen in life, and bow they shook dice and one student won the head and another an arm and so on. That night I dreamed that I was a female doctor, and that | was cutting up human remains in a chopping bowl, and for a week I dare not feel in my husband’s coat pockets, for fear | would find some cold, clammy fingers, or something, O, I had a picnic, but since then my hus- band has more regard for my feeliags, and never alludes to dissecting. Isn't this a nice baby ?”
The first bride said it was nice enough, though not as nice as some, and they bid each other good-day and went
